Italy: Authorities fire across bows of Tunisian boat accused of aiding illegal migration after it rams Italian ship

Oct 4, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 27 Comments

Expect more of these kind of incidents.

When Islamic supremacists encounter no resistance, they become more aggressive. The Leftist coalition Italian government has enabled the entry of large numbers of illegal Muslim migrants, and we have already seen the consequent aggressiveness on several occasions. In mid-August, a group of Muslim migrants revolted aboard an Italian coronavirus quarantine ship. And a week ago, 124 migrants leaped from an NGO migrant ship to reach Sicily in a hurry “after the crew waited 10 days for authorisation to disembark their passengers.”

“Italian Authorities Open Fire After Being Rammed by Suspected Smuggler Boat,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 1, 2020:

The Italian Guardia di Finanza fired across the bows of a Tunisian fishing vessel suspected of aiding illegal migration after the boat rammed one of the Italian ships.

The dramatic incident, which took place off the coast of Lampedusa, began after 40 Tunisians landed on the Italian island the day before. Their presence had attracted the attention of the Italian coastguard, which set to sea to investigate and found three boats pretending to fish in Italian waters.

The coast guard then called for backup from the Guardia di Finanza, a militarised police force under the authority of the finance ministry, which later arrived with two more ships. As the Italian ships arrived and fired warning shots in the air, one of the Tunisians’ boats was caught on video ramming the side of one of the Italian vessels, Il Giornale reports.

The Italian authorities managed to stop one of the vessels and escort it to Lampedusa, where the captain was arrested on several charges.

Admiral Nicola De Felice commented on the incident, saying: “I very much hope that the Italian justice system will punish with the utmost severity the crew of the Tunisian fishing vessel recently seized by our soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza and the Coastguard in the port of Lampedusa.”

According to Il Giornale, residents of Lampedusa have complained for months about Tunisian fishing boats in Italian territorial waters.

In recent months, Lampedusa has seen a surge of illegal migrants coming primarily from Tunisia.…..

      Hasamukh, Jihad terror began with the “Prophet” Muhammed himself. I would start by reading the Qur’an. Reading Robert Spencer’s “Blogging the Qur’an” commentary along with this is very useful:

      https://www.jihadwatch.org/quran-commentary

      I doubt you are going to get anywhere with the Aga Khan, though, even if you were able to meet with him. He is the leader of Shia Ismaili Muslims, and regularly pretends that Islam has nothing to do with Jihad terrorism.

      Better, I think, to educate other non-Muslims about the threat of Islam.

      What Graven said. Personally however, if you’re “new” to islam and looking to make sense of why the muslims keep killing and enslaving non-muslims, I’d advise against weeding through quran’s mumbo jumbo from the start because the book itself is horribly composed and all over the place, with recent evidence even pointing to the fact that the current quran is a product of centuries of islamic scholars re-writing it to make some sense of it.

      Instead, you should start with learning about the life of muslims’ beloved “prophet” muhammad and just keep in mind that he is considered in the muslim world to be “the perfect man” (al-insan al-kamil) who is to be emulated as closely as possible if one seeks to be a “pious and devout” muslim, who will then be guaranteed to reach paradise in the afterlife where 72 virgins await him in eternal fornicating. Once you get a grasp of all the things he’s done, you’ll have no trouble figuring out where the muslims’ violent behavior comes from. Only then should you move onto quran and further connect the dots between muslim terrorism and islamic religious texts.

      Still, even if you present all the evidence to a muslim like Aga Khan, I doubt you will get anything out of him other than lies and condemnation. Muslims are professional victims with polar bear status — if you even as much as look at them the wrong way (regardless if they deserved it or not), prepare to face massive consequences from, not just muslims, but everyone else as well.

    According to the French website RIPOSTE LAIQUE 500,000 Muslim migrants enter France every year. And it is known 80% are MEN.

    AS FOR THE FUTURE

    Even though many Muslims are entering Western Europe en masse:

    There are limiting factors:

    1.Like 80% are MEN ( not enough Muslim women for every Muslim man ).
      
    2.The attitude of European women to dating Middle-Eastern men( except for the very best looking (less than 5% ) ).

    3.The FACT the great majority of those Muslim migrants are POOR and REMAIN poor.

    The REDPILL/BLACKPILL about marriage in the WEST today is:

    1.In the US,for example,94% of women marry a man who makes MORE MONEY than she does.
    It is an example of HYPERGAMY.

    2.The average AGE when a woman gets married is about 30 YEARS old.

    3.At age 30, 80% of a woman’s eggs are gone,at age 35% it is 95% gone.

    4.Because of that,around age 30 many women have a biochemical change,called BABY FEVER/the BIOLOGICAL CLOCK, where she has an Intense Desire to have a Baby.

    It is her body’s way of telling her to have a baby, her time is running out.

    5.The AVERAGE marriage,for those 18-50, is Only 3 to 4 years. 

    6.And of those 18-50,  70% end up in DIVORCE, and WOMEN initiate 75% of divorces.

    7.According to data, 33% of children in marriage are NOT the husbands. Because of that,in FRANCE and GERMANY,  it is AGAINST the law, for a father, to DNA test his own children, he needs his wife’s permission.

    8.The average birth rate in EUROPE is BELOW replacement level.
    PLUS

    1.The DATING APP data is that European women only like 5% of European men( before it was only 20%), but even less to MIDDLE-EASTERN men.  

    These apps have TENS of MILLIONS of users ( but uneven, 85% are men, 15% women, and most are 18-34 )
    2. It is because women have like 10X LESS testosterone than men( the Sexual Arousal Hormone) and so are sexually attracted to only the best-looking men.

    3. For 200,000 of 190,000 YEARS HOMO SAPIENS were NOMADS ( before the invention of AGRICULTURE ) and because of having a situation of having a CONSTANT state of being in danger of getting KILLED (by predators ) or DYING of HUNGER:

    Real BIOCHEMICAL differences developed between MEN and WOMEN ( like the concentration of testosterone and estrogen (associated with propensity to react EMOTIONALLY instead of LOGICALLY ).

    4. One result is women (unlike men) have intense HYPERGAMY: she wants to marry or be in a relationship with a man who is ABOVE her ( in LOOKS , and FINANCE )

    5. The Finance Part is because of a PRIMARY pre-agricultural desire to be with a man who would guarantee her MATERIAL SECURITY. ( that eliminates MOST Muslim men )

    6.The above is part of EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY ( which has replaced FREUD and his PYSCHOANALYSIS ( long since rejected ) ),since it is based on empricial data.

      Brando, Muslims don’t want the West to remain free. In Muslim-majority societies, Muslims often kidnap and rape Infidel women. Even now, Muslim men in the West have started to mass rape women–just look at Cologne and the “grooming” cases in Britain.

      As for marriage, in the US, as it stands now, about half of marriages end in divorce, meaning that half do not. Things are not quite as dire as you think. My husband and I have been married over 30 years.

      And the idea that only 5% of European men have had a date is just silly. This is even more alarmist than your previous claim, that women only sleep with the top 20% of men looks-wise, which is clearly not the case, either. Women are, in fact, somewhat less obsessed with looks statistically than men are.

      Then, the fertility of women in their 30s is not as dire as you believe:

      https://www.cnyfertility.com/how-many-eggs-do-women-have/

      Then, the idea that women are incapable of thinking logically is simply not the case. This claim is *not* science.

      Things are bad now in many ways, no doubt–but these kinds of mistaken claims do not actually help.

        Hello,thank you for the graph in the link,though it is dramatic all the same: at 13 a girl has almost 350,000 eggs , at 30 it is 80,000 ,at 35 it seems to be 50,000.

        1.A clarification, the dating apps do NOT mean 5 or 20% of men are sleeping with 80% of women, only that 5 or 20% of men are considered attractive. Based on photos. Those men have passed what is called PRE-SELECTION.

        The rest is PERSONALITY and GAME.

        The same thing happens to men,men pre-select, I think that according to the dating apps 80% of women are considered attractive by men,or at least 60%.

        2.I am not saying the redpill/blackpill say women are not capable of logical thinking but BIOCHEMISTRY has an influence:

        THE CASE OF HEROIN ADDICTS

        1.There are 9 MILLION heroin addicts worldwide, their BIOCHEMISTRY is different from ours.

        2.Since 2002 we have a CURE for heroin addiction: BUPRENORPHINE ( also called SUBUTEX )

        It is a MIRACLE drug: NO Side EFFECTS and in addition,you have to take it for,I think 3 months, and

        if the addicts decides to consume heroin ANYWAY, Subutex PREVENTS him from getting a high, he feels nothing,he wasted his money.

        REALITY CHECK

        However FEW heroin addicts are interested in getting cured, I don’t know what percentage of the 9 million are MEN,let us say 50% ( 4.5 MILLION), and they have a High Concentration of Testosterone,their logic tells them to get out of heroin,it is destroying their health, the cure has arrived,

        it is destroying them financially,but their biochemistry goes against logic.

          Thanks for your reply, Brando.

          Number of eggs is not the only factor re fertility as you appear to believe. Miscarriages are much higher among very young girls than they are among older teens and women in their twenties.

          Moreover, many girls of 13 have not even gone started menstruating yet–I hadn’t.

          I’m not sure what dating app this is. I am not up to date on this, but I have not heard of any dating apps that exclude all but those deemed in the top 5% of men.

          Certainly those like eharmony, which I believe is the most popular dating app in the US, does not do this.

          Personality is indeed important–not sure hat you mean by game, save that of course men who actually join dating apps or ask women out are indeed more likely to successfully date than men who do not. This is true with most endeavors in life.

          I know you have said before that appearance is of less importance to men than it is to women, but this is not statistically borne out:

          “An overwhelming 85 percent of Australian women rank personality as more important than looks, while only 72 percent of men say the same.

          This trend follows across the world, with women from every country more likely than men to value personality over looks.”

          https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7409295/Men-women-reveal-look-partner-really-value-appearance.html

          There are thousands of studies that report similar findings.

          I have to admit I am not sur what you are saying here–that women are irrational in the same way that heroin addicts are? That women are no more rational than are heroin addicts?

          And I have not seen any studies that say that male heroin addicts are more likely to successfully kick the habit than are females.

          In fact, men are more likely to become substance abusers than are women. Please note that I am *not* extrapolating from this that men are less rational than are women–there are lots of factors.

          There are certainly women who are irrational–this is also true of many men.

    I forgot to add:

    In EUROPE ( western and eastern ) the AVERAGE age in 2000 was 40.
    TODAY: it is 47 years old.

    That is Another Limiting Factor for the Muslim migrants:

    the number of EUROPEAN women who can bear children is limited since the average European woman is 45 and up: has had MENOPAUSE, can’t have a child.

      Hi Brando, perhaps should also have note of the fact that more and more ‘sophisticated’ western women are simply choosing to own a big, expensive and highly pedigreed dog (or 2) rather than bear children. (Islam also has a lot of less than pleasant things to say about dogs as well.)

        It is also HYPERGAMY, how to say it:

        1.To become a DOCTOR you have to have an IQ of 120, it is at least 9 years,I think.

        2.Doctors earn like $100,000 / year.

        3.From surveys,studies: Female doctors do NOT want to Marry a man who earns LESS than they do.

        4.It is a STUPID form of hypergamy,and coming from women with an IQ of 120, they do not want to marry a man who makes $80,000 or $60,000 a year.

        I can understand not wanting to marry a man who makes $20,000/year,or even $30,000/year.

        ANOTHER REASON

        In some countries like France there is the option of SEPARATION DES BIENS( if there is a divorce, each side leaves with their own money and possesions only for themselves).

        But in the UK and CANADAD and the US it does not exist: if the female doctor marries a man who earns LESS and there is a divorce:

        The ex-husband gets the HOUSE/APARTMENT and HALF her MONEY,and depending on the years of the marriage, ALIMONY ( usually for LIFE ).

These people are not coming into your country to become good citizens, they are coming in to take over your country with islamic sharia law and rule. Open borders is a BIG mistake! You are allowing the enemy to walk into your country without firing a shot.
